According to the Related Link below, to be eligible for unemployment you have to be available to go to work immediately with no restrictions on your ability to work (among other requirements) If the disability prevents you from doing this, then no. Also, if you qualified otherwise, the benefits would be offset by any disability benefits you receive.

Yes, Id say however it is dependent on VA's policies. Suggestions is to always apply. If you need any help, id consult more higher sources in the legal hierarchy or contact anyone that could help you in dealing with Comp benefits in VA.

Can you collect unemployment benefits while you are on Social Security for widows?

You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to. I worked for the Unemployment Office & just an FYI, they do not know if you are on social security and are unable to check, so if you do not say anything, they will never know.

In this situation, no. You still have a job just because they change your hours.


If you are a college student can you get money while not being able to work?

No unemployment for students (at least in Michigan) If I said no unemployment for full time students, that should cover all states. As far as disability, yes, you can get disability if you have short term disability insurance. Since this is just for knee surgery, no point in saying how you could get long term disability as you will be fine before that becomes a issue.


Can you collect unemployment and collect fee for answering surveys occasionally?

Yes, but a prudent person would report the income to the state's unemployment office to make sure you complied with their reporting requirements and weren't committing unemployment fraud. Receiving income while getting benefits is permissible, just do it by the rules.

You were terminated for attendance can you draw unemployment in North Carolina?

You should check with your local unemployment office; but in almost all cases, if you are terminated for wrong doing or quit your job, you cannot collect unemployment. Otherwise, people would just get a job and do something to get fired or quit, just to get the money from unemployment. You may want to check to see if your state is a fire at will state. That reduces your chance of collection unemployment dramatically.
